MAINTENANCE
Your Monterei Gas Heater will provide years of service with minimal upkeep. The following
procedures will help ensure that your stove continues to function properly.
Annual System Inspection
Have the entire heater and venting system inspected annually by a qualified gas technician.
Replace any worn or broken parts.
Logset and Burner
Cleaning and Inspection
Cleanliness is critical to the proper function of the heater. The logset and burner must all be kept
free of dust and unobstructed by debris. Inspect these areas before each use and clean as
necessary.
1. Turn the burner OFF and let the heater cool completely before cleaning.
2. Lift the Stove Front up and then swing the bottom out to disengage it from the heater shell.
3. Carefully remove the glass and frame assembly and place it out of the way on a flat, padded
surface such as a counter protected by a towel.
4. Carefully inspect the Logs for damage. Contact your local dealer if any damage is evident.
DO NOT OPERATE THE HEATER WITH DAMAGED LOGS.
5. Use a soft bristled brush to sweep dust or debris from the Logs, Pilot and Burner. Use care as
the logs are fragile and susceptible to damage.
DO NOT USE A VACUUM TO CLEAN THE LOGS OR BURNER.
6. Replace the glass panel and frame assembly.
7. Replace the Stove Front.
Care of Cast Iron
An occasional dusting with a dry rag will help keep the painted surfaces looking new. Use high-
temperature stove paints, available through your local dealer, to touch-up areas as needed.
Clean areas to be painted with a wire brush and be sure to cover the logs, burner and valve
assembly, glass and frame assembly. Apply the paint sparingly; two light coats of paint will give
better results than a single heavy coat. Clean porcelain enamel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If necessary, use only a cleaning agent formulated
especially for use on porcelain enamel surfaces.
CAUTION
TURN THE PILOT OFF BEFORE PAINTING. ALLOW THE HEATER TO COOL COMPLETELY
BEFORE PAINTING.
Cleaning the Glass
WARNING: Allow the glass cool completely before attempting to clean.
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up, condensation, which is
normal, forms on the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling
to the glass surface. Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore
recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three times with a non-ammonia household
cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). After that the glass should
be cleaned two or three times during each heating season depending on the circumstances
present.
Clean glass after first two weeks of operation.
